  • Ipo Analysis
    IPO ANALYSIS Zscaler Research on potential upcoming IPOs from Bilibili Spotify selected candidate companies. March 2018 VentureDeal Zscaler Files Terms For $110 Million IPO Quick Take Zscaler (ZS) intends to raise $110 million in a U.S. IPO, according to an amended S-1/A regulatory filing. The company has developed a suite of cloud security software offerings for the enterprise market. ZS management is proposing to price the IPO at a rich valuation and without demonstrating a path to profitability. My opinion is to AVOID the IPO at the current price. Perhaps institutional buyers will persuade management of their excessive valuation expectations. Alternatively, if the IPO fizzles, interested investors may be able to pick up a bargain post-IPO. Company Recap San Jose, California-based Zscaler was founded in 2007 to offer a range of internet and hybrid security capabilities to businesses of all sizes. Management is headed by co-founder and CEO Jay Chaudhry, who was previously Chief Strategy Officer at Secure Computing and founder & CEO of CipherTrust. The company has developed a robust partner network for both referrals & resellers and internet service providers. Investors have funded $148 million in several rounds and include TPG Capital (8.7% pre-IPO). CEO Chaudhry and affiliates own 54.3% of company stock pre-IPO. Technology Zscaler has created a suite of cloud security solutions in the following categories: Zscaler Internet Access • Secure Web Gateway • Cloud Firewall • Cloud Sandbox • Bandwidth Control • Data Loss Prevention Zscaler Private Access • For Amazon Web Services (AMZN) • For Microsoft Azure (MSFT) Zscaler Platform • Cloud Architecture • SSL Inspection • Data Privacy & Security • Zscaler App Below is a brief company promotional video: (Source:Zscaler) Market According to a December 2017 Gartnermarket research report, it forecasted that global security technology spending would reach $96 billion in 2018, representing an increase of 8% over 2017.

  • System: Pipeline Performance Enhancement
    Cross Cultural Analysis System Improvements Guandong Liu Yiyang Zeng Columbia University Columbia University [email protected] [email protected] 1 Introduction Cross-cultural analysis investigates the new task of determining which textual tags are preferred by different affinity groups for news and related videos. We use this knowledge to assign new group-specific tags to other videos of the same event that have arisen elsewhere. We map visual and multilingual textual features into a joint latent space using reliable visual cues, and determine tag relationships through deep canonical correlation analysis (DCCA). We are interested in any international events such as epidemics and transportation disasters and detect country-specific tags from different countries’ news coverage [1]. Our current pipeline is able to collect data, preprocess data, and analyze data. This semester, we investigated and improved system performances in different aspects to make it more reliable and flexible. This report consists of two parts: the first part gives a thorough overview to the whole pipeline and the second part talks about several bug fixes and performance improvements of the current system. 2 Pipeline User Manual This section gives a thorough overview to the whole pipeline and goes through each step with AlphaGo in Chinese and English task as an example. 2.1 Get Video Metadata The pipeline starts from getting video metadata from various sources. In our experiments, we got video metadata about AlphaGo from Chinese sources (Tencent, Iqiyi, Youku, BiliBili) and English source (YouTube). Note that to get video metadata from YouTube, one must first enable YouTube Data API and get own API credentials (key.txt is the API credentials).

Bilibili’s focus on user generated content, along with innovative features like bullet comments, make it one of the most used video apps by China’s youth today. Thanks to its similar users, features, and functionality, some say that Bilibili is the YouTube of China. Bilibili is in a unique position on the Chinese market, as it’s backed by both Alibaba and Tencent (7.2% and 13.3% of shares, respectively), as well as Japanese giant Sony (4.98%). 01 02 KEY FACTS & STATS Key facts & stats Bilibili has shown incredible growth over the past few years.

  • Bilibili (BILI): a Leader in ACG with Room to Grow
    JAGUAR MEDIA SEPT 8TH, 2020 “CHINESE TECH DEMYSTIFIED” SERIES – EPISODE 5 Bilibili (BILI): A leader in ACG with room to grow Bilibili is often labeled as China’s version of YouTube, but that comparison is only half-accurate. Fundamentally, it is a video sharing and vlogging platform. But if we dig a little deeper, we will find that it caters almost exclusively to a dedicated under-30’s crowd while shunning older audiences, and the video content is overwhelmingly focused on animation, comics, and games (or ACG in short), fashion, pop culture, and music. No news, no politics, no academic discourse, no finance, none of that mundane stuff. Bilibili was founded in 2009 with the intention of being a worthy ACG competitor to AcFun (recall AcFun is the former parent company of DouYu). Bilibili’s founder Xu Yi was formerly a top user with a huge following on AcFun, but grew increasingly frustrated over time with community and website-related issues. And following a series of high-profile disagreements with AcFun management, he decided to sever ties and create Bilibili on the back of funding from now-CEO Chen Rui, a games/animation-loving billionaire investor who currently owns over 20% of the company. Before long, Bilibili saw significant traffic, enough to challenge AcFun’s. Due to this rivalry and history, Bilibili is commonly referred to by the Chinese internet community as “B Site” or “Station B”, while AcFun is nicknamed “A Site” or “Station A”. Fun fact: The word “Bilibili” doesn’t have any literal meaning. Rather, it is a playful reference to a main character from A Certain Scientific Railgun, a popular comic/animation series at the time, whereby “Bilibili” is the sound she makes when firing her weapon.

  • Chinese Companies Listed on Major U.S. Stock Exchanges
    Last updated: October 2, 2020 Chinese Companies Listed on Major U.S. Stock Exchanges This table includes Chinese companies listed on the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, and NYSE American, the three largest U.S. exchanges.1 As of October 2, 2020, there were 217 Chinese companies listed on these U.S. exchanges with a total market capitalization of $2.2 trillion.2 3 Companies are arranged by the size of their market cap. There are 13 national- level Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the three major U.S. exchanges. In the list below, SOEs are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the stock symbol.4 This list of Chinese companies was compiled using information from the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, commercial investment databases, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). 5 NASDAQ information is current as of February 25, 2019; NASDAQ no longer publicly provides a centralized listing identifying foreign-headquartered companies. For the purposes of this table, a company is considered “Chinese” if: (1) it has been identified as being from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) by the relevant stock exchange; or, (2) it lists a PRC address as its principal executive office in filings with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Of the Chinese companies that list on the U.S. stock exchanges using offshore corporate entities, some are not transparent regarding the primary nationality or location of their headquarters, parent company or executive offices. In other words, some companies which rely on offshore registration may hide or not identify their primary Chinese corporate domicile in their listing information.
